To build a comprehensive model for identification, training, shared resources, and effective practices which promotes collaboration and consistency between families, educators, and community partners in support of our students with ASD. The Kent Collaborative Autism Network (Kent CAN) provides a place for representatives from community agencies and schools, that serve individuals with special needs, to share information, learn from each other, coordinate their efforts and find ways to have greater impact together on improving outcomes for students with autism. The Network meets five times a year to identify barriers, share successful practices, discuss innovative ideas and set goals.
